How to Care for the Plant
Water
‘Little Jewel' has typical watering needs for a succulent. It's best to use the “soak and dry” method, and allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
Pruning
Very easy: making leaf cuttings or separating the new shoots that are emerging from the stem by hand or with pruning shears previously disinfected with alcohol.
Fertilizer
Fertilizing these plants isn’t a necessity. if you do plan on supplementing your little jewels nutrients, use slow-release liquid fertilizer rather than a fast-acting one. Also, feed it only during its active growing period in the winter.
